'A Man Leaning on a Parapet,' from around 1881, is one of George Seurat’s earliest works that showed single figures absorbed in thought. The painting reveals his skill for light effects and bold silhouettes.

To advertise the weekly FaculTEA, I asked AI to generate an image of 'Cambridge academics having afternoon tea in a library'. This is the cursed picture it produced. Horrifying in a number of ways.

When I worked in the fiction section at Hatchards the publisher John Calder had a habit of appearing out of nowhere & screaming ‘YOU HAVE NO BECKETT!!!’ at me. He wasn’t a bad sort, just terrifying.

People mix the two all the time, especially if there's money to be made from the (retention of) complexity.
